Eglwyscummin (Welsh: Eglwys Gymyn) is a Community Ward situated on the south-western boundary of Carmarthenshire in south-west Wales. It is made up of the three ward parishes of Ciffig, Eglwyscummin, and Marros, all surrounding the village of Red Roses, which lies some three miles south of Whitland.
The area consists mostly of farmland and is traversed from east to west by the main A477 road leading to south Pembrokeshire and the Pembroke Dock ferry port, crossed at Red Roses by the B4314 running southeastwards from the county boundary at Tavernspite to the seaside resort of Pendine Sands.
Carmarthenshire County Council administers the area with Eglwyscummin Community Council providing some local direction. Eglwyscummin Community Association has, on occasion, been responsible for providing a more open forum for general members of the Community. So too had The Taf Myrddin Community Network which provided a direct interface between the County Council Executive and the general public. Although successful, the Network was ended by the County Council in early 2009.
Places of worship include Ciffig (also Cyffig) parish church, the grade I listed parish church of St Margaret Marloes, the hall in Eglwyscummin and St. Lawrence's parish church in Marros.
Eglwyscummin Community Centre is situated in Red Roses with a Memorial Garden adjacent which was built by members of the local Young Farmers Group.
Apart from the local farms, other businesses in the area include a horse riding school, a shooting range, several caravan parks, holiday cottages for the disabled, a bus company, a farm producing ice cream and cheese, an Autograss league track and the Green Bridge Inn public house situated between Marros and Pendine.
